To all whom it may concern: 7 7, w ,7

Be it known that I, NATHANIEL CRANK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hill City, in the county of Graham andState of Kansas, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Cabinets, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in vaporcabinets and the object of the invention is to generally improve andsimplify devices of this character.

The invention consists incertain devices and combination of devices tobe now described and claimed.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention, Fig. 2is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a sectionon the line 33 of Fig.2, and Fig. 4: is a section on the line H of Fig.2.

1 designates the base of the cabinet which is of.pan-like character,legs 2 depending from the same. The top is composed of two sections 3and 4 hingedly connected to opposite ends of the base 1.

5 and 6 designate closures which are hingedly connected to the sections3 and 4. respectively and which are formed to provide I an opening 7, inwhich latter the neck of the user is received.

8 designates a hinged leg which is adapted to support the section 4 whenthe latter is in lowermost open position.

The base 1 is provided with a top 9 which is formed with a series ofopenings 10 and is provided with an upwardly extending box'like part 11,the latter being formed on each side at each of the ends of the latterwith vertical openings 12, adapted to receive pins 13 which latter arepassed through openings 14 of a seat 15, the openings 14: registeringwith the openings 12 of the boxlike part 11, whereby it will be obviousthat the seat 15 may be raised or lowered tocprovide a seat of desiredheight. The seat 15 is formed with openings 16.

By reference to Fig. 3, it will be seen that the box 11 communicateswith the pan-like base 1, whereby the vapor from the pan base enters thebox 11 and egresses through the openings 12 and16 as well as through theopenings 10 of the top plate 9 of the base. The basel is formed with acompartment 17 which communicates by means of a pipe 18 heat to theboiler 19.

I withthe boiler 19 inwhich latter the water is confined. g,

e 20 designates the burner for supplying In the compartment or chamber17 there is a medicine container or can 21 which is spaced from the sidewalls and the bottom of the chamber 17 and has a tube 22 connectedthereto which latter extends through the top of the section 1 and has amouth piece 23 whereby the occupant of the cabinet may inhale the fumesfrom the medicinal receptacle 21. It will be noted that the steam orvapor enters receptacle 17 from the pipe 18 and egresses from thereceptacle through the opening 24: to escape into the base 1. Thus thesteam or vapor is introduced into the cabinet in contact with themedicinal receptacle 21, tending to vaporize the medicine in the latter,after which it escapes from the openings 21 to enter the interior of thecabinet.

25 designates sockets carried by the opposite side walls of section 3 inwhich are removably fitted the depending ends of a U shaped supportingrod 26.

27 designates a water tank having hooks 28 secured thereto the hooksengaging over the supporting bar 26 and thereby supporting the watertank 27 and permitting the latter to be slid from one side to the otherof the cabinet. Depending from the tank 27 is a rubber tube 29 having aspray nozzle 30 secured thereto, by means of which the occupant mayobviously spray himself with cold water whenever desired.

31 designates a thermometer by means of which the temperature of thecabinet can be ascertained. The neck of the medicinal container projectsthrough the cover plate 9,,

tainer having a rubber tube connected thereto.

2. In a vapor cabinet,a base of p anlike character, a compartment in thebase, one wall of said compartment being formed ranged to have its freeopen end spaced from the container, and means to supply steam or vaporto said pipe.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing with an opening adjacent the bottom of the witnesses.
